VE sv6 ute
Heres my ute guys been on here a while and never posted.

Exhaust
Dual 2.5 inch dual stainless with pacemaker extractors standard cats.
Soon to be modified to fit tuned length longer 3 into 1 extractors with 100cfm cats, and have the mid muffler removed and two hot dogs and merge fitted.
Doing all this to increase low down tourqe

Intake
Russo fibreglass OTR, this is currently for sale for $350 with all brackets etc as im going to a ss inductions grolwer kit, once again to increase tourqe and make the engine bay look more stock.

Engine
Port matched upper and lower intake to suit mace CAI spacers.

Exterior
SS sail plane, genuine maloo rear bar and gts clubsport front bar with genuine fog and driving lights and walky fog light covers. Lowered on king spring sssl all around and fitted with advanti tourer 22 inch 8.5 inch wheels.
(have a set of advanti gauntlet black wheels for $1300)

Interior
Hsv shifter, ignition dash, sub out fitted to stock audio system with rear outs activated. dynamated doors with focal splits fitted to stock audio.

Future mods
GTS retrimmed seats in orange and black leather with leather console lid and door panels
(2months)
CPR6 intake (month)
SS inductions (be here soon)
Radiator cover ordered (pick up monday)
Exhaust mods soon (2months)
Cam work in motion once tuning is avaliable (depending on tuning)
TUNE once VCM stop messing us around. (depending)

Currently runs 150 rwkw untuned

Dont see much gain in changing to ss inductions

Cpr6 (14rwkw promised)

Merge, Extractors, Hi-Flow cats, note currently have a hole in my mid muffler from a rock hence the rather large gain im expecting. (10rwkw ???)

Hope to see 175-180 rwkw befor hitting the rollers for a tune.

Capa have results for 226rwkw with 9psi intercooled and fuel system.

Cheers mate got the rear bar to match but the rear bar and front bar sit lower than the skirts so i kinda want the maloo side skirts but ill get flamed for saying that haha.

The boys at the nats had trouble getting it on the dyno cause they couldnt get the straps over the wheels but they worked it out as you can see.

Paying for the cpr6 this week so next week i should have it

who made those extractors? you realise longer tuned lenght extractors lower low end torque not increase over shorter headers?

Just looking at the Sureflo site they recon 4 into 1 DOES have better top end power.

Anyway i dont like where the paccies gather at the stock cats so there gone anyway. I would rather have extractors end where there meant to end.
With some high flow cats and merge and hotdogs, ill be picking up plenty of low down anyway.
The only place my pipes join is in a center box which has a hole in it anyway.
